Yeled V’Yalda’s Policy Council is comprised of parent and community representatives who are elected by parents in their respective sites. Parents meet with community representatives and relevant staff to discuss issues and make recommendations to our Board.

In consultation with experts, the Council makes decisions on matters as general as policy to specifics regarding selection of new sites, expansion, personnel, curriculum changes and budget.

We view parental input as essential if programs are to succeed and be responsive to families’ needs. We recognize the prominent role played by parents as the child’s first and primary teacher.
